Menu Laravel Package

title: Manipulating Items weight: 2

There are three methods to manipulate items in a menu:

• each: Goes over all existing items and applies a manipulation
• registerFilter: Registers a manipulation that will be applied to all items added afterwards
• applyToAll: Applies a manipulation to all existing and all future items

Typehinting Callables

All methods require a callable as their first and only parameter. The callable will receive the item as it's parameter. If this parameter is typehinted, the manipulation will only be applied to items of that type.

Menu::new()
    ->add(Link::to('/', 'Home'))
    ->add(Html::raw('<a href="#" data-avatar>Profile</a>'))
    ->each(function (Link $link) {
        $link->addClass('link');
    })
    ->each(function (Html $html) {
        $html->addParentClass('html');
    });

In the above example, all links will receive a link class, and all html chunk parents (li's) will receive an html class.

each

Iterates over all existing items, and applies a manipulation.

Menu::new()
    ->add(Link::to('/foo-before', 'Foo before'))
    ->add(Link::to('/bar-before', 'Bar before'))
    ->each(function (Link $link) {

        // Return if string doesn't contain 'Foo'
        if (strpos($link->getText(), 'Foo') === false) {
            return;
        }

        $link->addClass('-has-foo');
    })
    ->add(Link::to('/foo-after', 'Foo after'))
    ->add(Link::to('/bar-after', 'Bar after'))

<ul>
    <li><a href="/foo-before" class="-has-foo">Foo before</a></li>
    <li><a href="/bar-before">Bar before</a></li>
    <li><a href="/foo-after">Foo after</a></li>
    <li><a href="/bar-after">Bar after</a></li>
</ul>

registerFilter

Registers a manipulation that will be applied on every new item.

Menu::new()
    ->add(Link::to('/foo-before', 'Foo before'))
    ->add(Link::to('/bar-before', 'Bar before'))
    ->registerFilter(function (Link $link) {

        // Return if string doesn't contain 'Foo'
        if (strpos($link->getText(), 'Foo') === false) {
            return;
        }

        $link->addClass('-has-foo');
    })
    ->add(Link::to('/foo-after', 'Foo after'))
    ->add(Link::to('/bar-after', 'Bar after'))

<ul>
    <li><a href="/foo-before">Foo before</a></li>
    <li><a href="/bar-before">Bar before</a></li>
    <li><a href="/foo-after" class="-has-foo">Foo after</a></li>
    <li><a href="/bar-after">Bar after</a></li>
</ul>

applyToAll

Applies a manipulation to all existing and future items no matter where it's called.

Menu::new()
    ->add(Link::to('/foo-before', 'Foo before'))
    ->add(Link::to('/bar-before', 'Bar before'))
    ->applyToAll(function (Link $link) {

        // Return if string doesn't contain 'Foo'
        if (strpos($link->getText(), 'Foo') === false) {
            return;
        }

        $link->addClass('-has-foo');
    })
    ->add(Link::to('/foo-after', 'Foo after'))
    ->add(Link::to('/bar-after', 'Bar after'))

<ul>
    <li><a href="/foo-before" class="-has-foo">Foo before</a></li>
    <li><a href="/bar-before">Bar before</a></li>
    <li><a href="/foo-after" class="-has-foo">Foo after</a></li>
    <li><a href="/bar-after">Bar after</a></li>
</ul>
